What We Do:

• Accompany your client throughout their entire IME/DME
• Observe and document details of the examination, noting 5-minute intervals
• Audio record all portions of the examination
• Evaluate IME/DME for completeness, noting important orthopedic and neurological test omissions
• Provide a thorough report and digital CD recording for use at deposition, arbitration, or trial to critique the Independent/Defense Medical Examiner's findings

Why We Do It:

• The IME/DME is frequently used to discredit the validity of your client's injury claim, often by conducting an incomplete evaluation and thereby forming unsubstantiated conclusions
• We provide a strong foundation for dispute by enhancing your awareness and understanding of the subtle details and techniques frequently used during these evaluations
• The IME/DME is a unique and stressful experience for most clients. To reduce their uneasiness, we will familiarize them with typical exam procedures and include specifics about the evaluating doctor whenever possible. In addition, your clients will learn to focus on and provide an accurate description of persistent symptoms, aggravating factors, and limitations with activities of daily living.
